BMCC prides itself on its international student body. Our students come from over 100 different countries.

More international students study at Borough of Manhattan Community College than at any other community college in the Northeast. In fact, BMCC ranks fifth nationwide in the number of international students enrolled according to a report issued by the Institute of International Education.

What's more, at BMCC, international students occupy key leadership positions in student activities. Many members of student government and leaders of clubs are international students.

International students are defined as people holding temporary student visas who are enrolled in college courses in the United States. Immigrants (permanent residents), citizens, refugees, and resident aliens are not considered international students.
